BERLIN, Nov 26.-The truth of the revela-
tions which associate Orleanist intrigues with
the forgeries which Prince Bismarck denounced
to the Gar continue to be questioned by the Pro-
gressist papers and by certain court organs The
Vossische Zeitung leads in asking for definite
information to what documents were forged
and who were the forgers. The Kreuz Zeitung
expresses doubt Of the possibility of any Berlin
court personages being concerned in deuding
the Gear in regard to Prince Bismarck's foreign
policy. The diplomatic circle here do
not share in this incredulity. It is
recognized that the disclosures of the
Cologne Gazette of necessity vague, and
that it will be difficult for Prince Bismarck to
take open measures against the culprits, as he
did in the case OF Count Won Arnim. No official

within Prince Bismarcks power to publicly pun
ish. The dispatches which were laid before the
Gar consisted of semi-diploma.c papers and
private letters emanating from the courts

litical importance of this discovery has been
overrated. 1t may tend to peace in helping
to disabuse tn Cars mind of the impression
